When I have problems with AI ships in sea/roster folders I have a CTD when loading Campaigns. But the problem I have isn't a CTD: It is a non starting game. You start the game and appears an error message. Maybe the problem is the "update.exe" file ( I didn't apply it).
Backer: update.exe modifies the SH3.exe? If yes there will be a compatibility issue for all the users of Hsie patch.
Thanks and all the best for the new year!
